Old Thermaltake 680W PSU...I need to update it and get something modular :/

I can highly recommend Enermax PSU's. Excellent efficiency, incredibly low ripple (great for PC audio), low fan noise and they are built like tanks. IMO, Corsair and others alike dont hold a candle to them, and that becomes very evident when running power-hungry GPUs and CPUs. I used to run several BitCoin rigs 24/7 for months, and only Enermax would hold up to the task of all the brands ive tried.

Thanks for the heads up.

On another note, this is the way the box showed up when it arrived today.......

Yeah, I'm never using USPS again to ship anything worth this much. Granted they had it off to The local Chinese postal service when it gets there, but this is just ridiculous. Sure it wasn't a 100% perfect box when I first got it but it was at least a square, nowhere near that bad.(I did check out the guts before plugging it in, everything seemed in place) I'm happy they originally sent it using open cell foam so at least it had a decent shock absorber while they kicked it around. :/

Man they put that thing through the ringer didn't they! Glad it came out in one piece shockingly.

Yeah they did. By the way...I of course expected it to get hot, but is it alright to leave this thing running for say 12 hours at a time? I mean it does get 100% passive cooling, and I figure Audio-GD has done more torture(through testing) than my average use to make sure it could withstand certain things, but I was just curious(I don't leave it unattended for long periods of time, just fyi). And is there anything I should maybe put between it and my wood desk to protect the wood from heat?

It shouldnt get "too" hot. Prolonged use like that is fine. If you need to, you can buy some risers/isolators to keep it up and away from the wood.

Hi , guys i found a awsome new device out there . I been in search of a DAC for my comp. without spending a lot but with audiophile quality
